CAREton Project 2013: Recycle Used Cartons into Roof for EPIC Homes

The weather now is like yoyo so unpredictable, one minute is so hot and the next minute heavy rain and followed by flash flood. Our mother nature is deteriorating. Why
don't we do something good for the earth at the same time can help the underprivileged.
Did you know that our beverage cartons can be recycled into roofing sheets? The
CAREton Project is beverage carton recycling campaign that aims to
put roofs over 5 families heads for EPIC Homes.

This is the second year of its annual CAREton Project, Tetra Pak
Malaysia and Nestlé Malaysia aims to collect over 1.65 million used beverage
cartons to be recycled into roofing tiles. These roofing tiles will be used by
EPIC Homes to construct 5 homes for Orang Asli families in need.

EPIC Homes is
built on a culture of collaboration, focusing on building sustainable housing for
underprivileged Malaysian communities. The team currently focuses their efforts
on the indigenous people; often referred to as the Orang Asli.

Last year, the CAREton Project recorded a collection exceeding its
initial target of 300,000 used beverage cartons. The collected cartons were
fully recycled into 10,000 exercise books and 100 units of schoolroom furniture
including classroom tables and chairs to benefit the Dignity for Children
foundation.

This year’s CAREton project marks the fourth in a row that Nestlé Malaysia
and Tetra Pak Malaysia; supported by a wide array of collection partners
amassed from previous years. The collection partners include retail partners
Publika Shopping Gallery and AEON Co. (M) Bhd, the Taiwan Buddhist Tzu-Chi
Foundation Malaysia as well as 300 public schools nationwide.
